The people who had bought the tofu in the morning sold everything out.
Everyone sold them to nearby villages and towns.
According to Shi Qingluo, the price was set at 5 wen, with a profit of 1 wen per catty.
In the morning, they could earn a few wen, and up to 30 wen like Xiao Dashu and his brothers.
To the villagers, this was like a pie falling from the sky.
Soon after, the news spread in the village.
Everyone knew that the tofu made by Scholar Xiao's family was very popular.
Those who were still watching decided to sell tofu the next day.
Soon after, another piece of news broke the peace in the village.
The old Xiao family had sold the servant who was serving Old Lady Xiao.
The villagers heard that Xinghong had been sold, and cried until she was out of breath.
She cried and apologised to Old Lady Xiao.
Then, she scolded Shi Qingluo but was soon dragged away by the brokers.
